Within the Christian church is the true Body of Christ, no doubt much smaller than the Christian church at large, identifying it as "a remnant." But there is yet another remnant within that remnant. This smaller remnant is the Bride of Christ, and she is experiencing an intense and severe process of tests and trials in preparation for her betrothal to the Lord. Just as Eve was taken out of Adam in order to complete him, the Bride of Christ is currently being taken out of the Body of Christ in order to complete the Body of Christ, literally bringing the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in Heaven. The Old Testament prophet Joel wrote about this group. Speaking of the day in which we live, he declared: "And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the Lord hath said, and in THE REMNANT whom the Lord shall call" (Joel 2:32). Those of you who have been experiencing this process of preparation will find purpose and encouragement in these short readings. You will come to a better understanding of who you are as a part of the Bride of Christ (which includes men and women). Even if you are not yet a believer, let this book become your guide into the most exciting part of your life. In its pages you will find the key to the peace and joy we all desire. Regardless of your beliefs and life experiences, these short readings will reveal to you why this is the most exciting time in history since Creation. Surely we were born for such a time as this!
